On Wednesday, March 9th at 7pm artist Franco Aureliani will give a talk on his current Kent Library exhibit Comic Book Art. With names like Tiny Titans and Shazam, the comic book superheroes of today as drawn by Aureliani are intensely colored, powerful, and fun. Storyboards and thumbnails as well as finished comic books by Mr. Aureliani will highlight the process and challenges of this narrative art. He will have comic books available for purchase. This exhibit is sponsored by the Friends of Kent Library.

March Art Exhibit at Kent Library...
March 1-31, 2011"Photo Visions" by Margaret Waage
A mixture of landscape and abstract photo illustrations make up the display. Working as a photojournalist, Waage produces feature "daytrip" assignments for the Republican-American newspaper and reports local news for the Southington Patch site.
Artist Statement:
"Visual storytelling helps me to recognize and understand the relationship I have to things, places, and most importantly people. It is looking through the lens that I see what seems apparent and on closer inspection, something more. A blossom is like poetry brief but everlasting. Photography is the tool I use to focus on what I describe as true wealth, that is of being in the moment.
Abstract work is made by finding a momentum within the space of a frame. Working with a photograph as the entry point, the image is edited using color and graphic patterns. The end results are 'abstract formulations.' It is up to the viewer to interpret the subject matter."
